The doctor told me that my condition last week is known in Japanese as 切迫早産(seppaku souzan), which means "threatened premature labor". Of course, I had never heard of the word "seppaku" and when repeating it to my husband later, I mistakenly called it 切腹早産(sepPUku souzan), which has something to do with hara-kiri.Thank you all for your wonderful wishes in the previous post! I am out of the hospital and even though I'm under house-arrest, I've been allowed off the sofa, which is good news for my butt which has mysteriously expanded over the past week.

Oh. Maybe that was from all the food that I was inhaling last week for lack of anything better to do.
